Team Handball - This is a game that combines all basketball skills, but instead of using a basketball hoop to score, the players throw the ball into a soccer/hockey goal. The rules are very simple and promote a lot of teamwork.

DECEMBER:
Young 5's/Kindergarten - 3rd Grade: Striking skills using floor hockey equipment.
All the classes participated in learning some basic striking skills using hockey sticks and balls. The Young 5's and K classes did not play an organized floor hockey game, rather they played organized lead up games to practice the skills and apply them. The 1st-3rd grade classes were organized into teams, which changed daily, and were able to play floor hockey games, learning some basic rules and game strategies. This is definitely one of the favorite activities of the kids at all of our elementary schools, not to mention, one of my favorite ones to teach!
JANUARY:
After Christmas, we spend time testing on the skills learned and practiced during first semester. The kids usually love these "testing" days because we get to do a little bit of everything! Once we finish testing, we spend time just playing games, usually different types of tag games, some old and some new.
